Minutes/Web Question

If I buy this phone and the $30 mo. plan that Walmart offers what exactly counts as using the minutes. Is it only calls I make and who calls me that counts against minutes or does texting and time your using the web count against the minutes too. Because in that case 100 min. wouldn't be enough. Sorry never had a smartphone.

If your connected to wifi, your minutes of talking do not count towards your usage. And it's 1000 minutes, not 100. :)Using wifi does not use your internet mb's either... I believe it's unlimited internet. either way, wifi does not count towards your MB available for use.

Only phone calls, in or out, count against your minutes. Text and web are unlimited.

Yes, I purchased the phone from Walmart and an AT&T sim card from Straight Talk. I have no problems or issues. Works great. Had to purchase and unlock and adjust the APN settings. Both were easy.

Yes, if you first unlock the phone. New cells are almost always sold locked to a specific carrier and will only work with the carrier to which they are locked. Google 'unlock samsung exhibit ii' for unlocking instructions. Keep in mind that this phone uses a full size SIM and some of the others use micro SIM's.

Yes you can. That is what I did. I found out after I got my phone that T-Mobile does not have very good coverage where I live. I ordered an AT&T Sim card from StraightTalk since they have a lot better coverage in my area and put it in and it works great. Be advised though that you may have to unlock your phone before the StarightTalk Sim will work.

It cost 200.00 dollars at walmart with no contract. It comes with a t-mobile no contract sim, but I used my t-mobile contract sim card out of my old gravity3 in my new exhibit 2 4g and it works great. Use the phone with t-mobile for 60 days and they will give you the unlock code to use it with any gsm network sim card or you can buy an unlock code online without waiting.

Can I use this or any other Prepaid Phone as replacement for a Phone in a Contract Plan?

I have a plan with T-mobile and would like to replace my current phone with this one... I can't afford the $450-$500 phones they offer, so I'd like to give this a shot... Will I just remove the SIM and place it in the slot in this phone?

Returns normally include the sim card. If you decide to keep the card, you may be charged for it. ($8-$15). But why?

Yes. Assuming that you activated the phone, you were assigned a telephone number which is tied to the SIM. You could buy another T-Mobile phone, insert the SIM in the new phone and then would have the same phone # as you had on the Samsung Exhibit II and even your contacts (if you save your contacts to the SIM).
